Anderson had gone online a few days after she was rescued and answered questions on social media, a choice some questioned given her ordeal and subsequent media scrutiny.

'They were just to help me through tough times,' she said in her first news interview since her rescue. Anderson also said that the letters found in DiMaggio's home were written about a year ago when she was having trouble getting along with her mother and she sought advice from DiMaggio.

The San Diego County Sheriff's Department said it could not immediately explain the discrepancy. But Anderson told 'Today' that communications were texts, not calls, and she was telling DiMaggio where to pick her up. According to search warrants, Anderson exchanged about 13 phone calls with DiMaggio before she was picked up from cheerleading practice that day. Anderson herself did not speak about the nature of her relationship with DiMaggio in an interview with NBC's 'Today' show that aired Thursday but did try to explain for herself details that have emerged about communications between them. San Diego County Sheriff Bill Gore has declined to discuss a possible motive and investigators haven't publicly addressed other aspects of the case, including why the family went to DiMaggio's home, the nature of letters from Hannah that were discovered in DiMaggio's home and how Hannah was treated in captivity. DiMaggio was killed days later in a shootout with authorities during which Anderson was rescued. Forty-four-year-old Christina Anderson and her son Ethan's bodies were discovered after DiMaggio set fire to his home in Boulevard, investigators say. 4 after the killings at his rural house east of San Diego and fled with the teen, authorities have said. Hannah Anderson was kidnapped by family friend James Lee DiMaggio on Aug.
